It is customary in world history to publish historical books to trace the origins of all recognized families and their ancestors and lineage. My family, especially boys and girls living in the UK, asked me to write a book about the family of our ancestor Rafi Shukkur to explore the dynamics of our lineage. Happily, with everyo ne's cooperation, I was able to write this book called 'Rafi Shukkur Taluk'. ( Landlords, Rafi Shukkur were two brothers who formed this Landlordship) I am the great, great, great-grandson of Rafi Shukkur taluk and the second son of Master Farmuz Ali and Mrs Taslima Khatun of Deul Gram. This historical family of ours is slowly becoming unfamiliar to the residents of Deul Gram (Deul means temple or shrine and the Gram is village) and the surrounding area, the children have forgotten about their roots. So, with a view to future generations, I became a novice in writing the history of this family. Incidentally, the members of this taluk are living in different countries of the world today and many of them have settled permanently in those countries. It is very important for them to record the history of Rafi Shukkur Taluk. This family is well known, respected and cherished. I believe our future generations will continue to improve. I wish them well. My expectation from them is that they will continue to support me with their well thoughts out opinions and suggestions on the research I am doing on our ancestors. Many thanks to Mr Shamsul Alam (Dudu Bhaisab) for inspiring me to write this book. While in the hospital he made me swear to write this book and reminded me not to forget our ancestors. Writing this book about ex-men is a really responsible job. Many thanks and gratitude to all those who have inspired and supported me in writing this book for future generations. During writing the book mistakes can occur please do inform me for correcting the information and it will be taken into the account. Alhaj Mohammed Ohid Uddin Author
